For peace to reign on Earth, humans must evolve into new beings who have learned to see the whole first.
—Immanuel Kant
It is not enough to win a war; it is more important to organize the peace.
—Aristotle
Death must be so beautiful. To lie in the soft brown earth, with the grasses waving above one’s head, and listen to silence. To have no yesterday, and no tomorrow. To forget time, to forgive life, to be at peace.
—Oscar Wilde
In Him, not in our circumstances, is our peace. As of old, it is today. In Christ, in Colosse; in Christ, in hospital; in Christ, here.
—Amy Carmichael
And so I believe that the way of peace is found in looking on to the End of the Lord, not in puzzling over the beginning or the middle of His ways.
—Amy Carmichael
Freely give means to give lavishly. What do I need today? Strength? Peace? Patience? Heavenly joy? Industry? Good temper? Power to help others? Inward contentment? Courage? Whatever it be, my God will lavish it upon me.
—Amy Carmichael
For with the Redeemer’s birth, peace, and all kind of happiness, come down to dwell on earth: yea, the overflowings of Divine good will and favour are now exercised toward men.
—John Wesley
So let us praise Him now, though it may be from under the harrow, from the depths, from anywhere. We shall never have the chance again to love Him in the peace of a great contentment, with the word ringing in our ear, And blessed is he whosoever shall not be offended in Me.
—Amy Carmichael
We might well pray for God to invade & conquer us, for until He does we remain in peril. The strength of our flesh is an ever present danger to our souls. Deliverance can come only by the defeat of our old life. Safety & peace come only after we have been forced to our knees.
If you want to pray strategically, in a way which would please God, pray that God might raise up men who see the beauty of the Lord our God & would begin to preach it & hold it out to people, instead of offering peace of mind, deliverance from cigarettes, a better job & cottage.
—A. W. Tozer
Peace cannot be kept by force; it can only be achieved by understanding.
—Albert Einstein
God has made me willing to do any thing that I can do, consistent with truth, for the sake of peace, and that I might not be a stumbling-block to others.
—David Brainerd
Why should you be enemies to your own peace? To read over the evidences of God’s love to your souls as a man does a book that he intends to refute? Why do you study to find evasions, to turn off these comforts that are due to you?
—John Flavel
Christianity without the atoning blood is a Christianity without mercy for the sinner, without settled peace for the conscience, without genuine forgiveness, without justification, without cleansing, without power. It is not Christianity, but the devil’s own counterfeit.
—R. A. Torrey
… until we truly humble ourselves, forgetting other people, and those who are worse than we are, until we see ourselves as we are in the sight of God, and confess our sins and come it ourselves into His Almighty hands, we have no right to look for peace and happiness.
—Martyn Lloyd-Jones
There will be no peace in any soul until it is willing to obey the voice of God.
—D. L. Moody
Don’t you see that if you get your heart set on earthly things, you will be disappointed; but if your heart is set on heavenly things, you will have peace all the while.
—D. L. Moody
To make peace either in oneself or among others, shows a man to be a follower of God.
—Thomas Aquinas
To think of parting with peace, health, liberty, relations, wives, children; it is offensive, heavy, and grievous to the best of the saints: but their souls cannot bear the thoughts of parting with Jesus Christ; such a thought is cruel as the grave.
—John Owen

To be prepared for war is one of the most effective means of preserving peace.
—George Washington
If we desire to avoid insult, we must be able to repel it; if we desire to secure peace, one of the most powerful instruments of our rising prosperity, it must be known, that we are at all times ready for War.
—George Washington
By the help of GOD, I will speak; and the more Satan bids me to hold my peace, the more earnestly will I proclaim to believing saints, that JESUS the son of David will have have mercy on them
—George Whitefield
A little of true peace, a little of the joys of the manifested love of Christ, and a little of the true and holy hope of eternal life, are enough to compensate for all that toil and weariness, and to erase the remembrance of it from the mind.
—Jonathan Edwards
That peace which results from true faith passes understanding, and that joy is joy unspeakable.
—Jonathan Edwards
The soul sees in Christ a way to peace with God, and a way by which the law may be answered, and justice satisfied, and yet he may escape; a wonderful way indeed, but yet a certain and a glorious one.
—Jonathan Edwards
There is so much sweetness in our peace with God that it must so quiet the spirit of that man in whom it is that whatsoever is without shall never be able to make any great disturbance in his spirit, so great and excellent is the sweetness of that peace.
—Jeremiah Burroughs

—Jeremiah Burroughs
If there is such a blessed peace between God and a true Christian, then he must be very peaceable in the world. He must be of a very peaceable disposition before men.
—Jeremiah Burroughs
